It is a hard row to hoe taking in stray animals. My Rocket was stray, and now he is part of the family. He was a tiny kitten under an old dishwasher on the front porch when we moved in.
I just hope that damn trap works. I tested it and shot some lube on the bearing points today, put some cardboard over the floor so it is not so hard on the pads of Hobomeister’s feet.
Hey, yeah, it’s just a cat. But I like the little bastid. He reminds me of some of my human pals. Rode hard and put away wet.
My indoor cats don’t realize how good a life they have.
We have five catz, all “walk-ups.” Taking them in is tough, and expensive. I had to trap one so I talked with a gal I know who traps them all the time. It sounds like you spoke with her as well...’bout the cardboard, good plan. He won’t be able to step around the trigger like catz do.
Good luck! And he won’t flee his territory when you bring him home. You might not see him for a little while....
Quite true. The orange cat had plenty of fleas.
